Discrimination, Racism, and Controversy in the NBA
The chapter delves into a federal investigation and lawsuit involving housing matters before transitioning to the NBA's handling of race-related issues, particularly in response to hip-hop culture. It explores the aftermath of the Malice at the Palace brawl, the NBA's implementation of a dress code, discriminatory actions of owner Donald Sterling, unequal treatment of players and owners, mistreatment of Elgin Baylor, and lack of consequences for Sterling's discriminatory practices.
